Holly is only five weeks old, but she’s already experienced a lifetime of pain. When she was brought into a North Carolina animal control shelter with her mother, she had a broken leg that needed to be fixed immediately. It was either that or she would be euthanized. But as is common with some rescue […]
I always had purebred dogs growing up. They were beautiful and well-behaved…but they also had plenty of health issues due to centuries of inbreeding and over-breeding. Of course, when you get a mutt, you can’t be certain how they’ll look grown-up (unless you get them full-grown), or what they’ll act like. But after rescuing my […]

Currrently, the police in Texas are investigating a case of animal cruelty… one that could’ve ended much, much worse. Just wait til you see the video at the bottom. This is Al Gaeta of Collin County, Texas. He was on his way to work when he spotted something seemingly normal in the road. It was […]

Our differences make us unique — heck, if we all looked alike, the world would be a pretty boring place. I mean, I just wrote a piece about a two-headed snake! …Which brings us to Toby. The Australian shepherd has two noses and because of that abnormality, he was about to meet an unfortunate and […]
